cityscape: geek or chic?

When I saw this dress at Anthropologie my first reaction was, "As an architect, I must have this."  With the description "City skylines rise with grandeur and purpose," how could I say no to this most perfect piece? I imagined wearing it to my final review and making a bold statement to my professor, jurors and classmates: not only do I eat, sleep and breathe architecture, I WEAR it too...get it?! And then I realized...I'd likely become the laughing stock of Pratt. The laid back luxe, hippie-chic school in Brooklyn would definitely not see the pure genius of this themed dress. So, I put it out of my mind and moved on to more important things like the new Union Square location of Baked by Melissa.

But then, just yesterday, I ran into this article Architecture in Dinnerware in the NYTimes home section (pictured above)  Jackpot!! If city scape themes are good enough for the NYTimes, then they are good enough for me (really cool Brooklyn grad school or not).  Watch out Spring semester final review...

I must admit that I am a fan of the cityline graphics. Some variations on a theme:
New York, New York wallpaper from Schumacher

Shower Curtain, City Style from CB2.

 
CB2, part 2. 

 
  
Perhaps break into the cityscape fashion scene with a NYC scarf from Lily and Lionel? (via Lucky Mag)
